Rollover Pass Fishing Area

   

No Longer Free! The area has been rebuilt.

 The pass cuts through the Bolivar Peninsula and links the Gulf of Mexico with Rollover Bay and East Bay. It’s a very popular fishing spot with large sandy lots on both sides of Texas Highway 87. In 2008 Hurricane Ike swept over the peninsula and destroyed the small community of Gilchrist. The community association has installed signs stating that the lots are private property but are available for public use. All they ask is that no one litters. There are porti-potties and trash cans. Staying overnight is allowed.

   We don’t fish but this looks like a very good place for wheelchair users to fish. The channel of the pass has concrete or metal walls and the water is about five feet deep.Most spots along the pass don’t have railings and it’s possible to get close to the water. Rollover Pass and Gilchrist
